I can't believe that the majority here does not like the new art. I was saying weeks ago that SNK needed to completly redraw all characters, change hair styles, clothes, age them a bit... etc, etc. I was tired of SNKs old cut and paste act.. most characters are unchanged since 94' and some even before that! Eolith, well still maintaining a similar look to previous versions of the characters, has slightly changed them, and I think they look great. Everyone looks much more natural now, the graphics are skinnier, sleekier, and sexier than ever (Mai looks freakin' great). The character select screen looks slick, I am really digging the color pallete and the character portraits are fresh and look pretty cool. I think this looks to be one of the coolest, atleast looking, KOFs we have ever seen. I may stand alone, but who the fuck cares... I think this game looks great.
